HESI A2 Version 3 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the sentence with proper subject-verb agreement.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is sentence D, 'Sherri and her cousin were at the County fair this year.' This sentence demonstrates proper subject-verb agreement as 'Sherri and her cousin' is a plural subject, requiring the plural verb 'were.' In sentences A, B, and C, there are subject-verb agreement errors where singular subjects are incorrectly paired with plural verbs ('was' in A, 'is' in B, 'are' in C).
Question 2 of 5
During the fight, I was hit on the...
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct preposition to use in this context is 'on.' Therefore, the correct phrase is 'hit on the head.' When referring to a part of the body after being hit, it is customary to use the definite article 'the' before the body part. In this case, 'the head' is the correct phrase. Combining these rules, the complete and correct sentence is 'During the fight, I was hit on the head.' Therefore, the correct answer is 'A.'
Question 3 of 5
What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't.' The apostrophe replaces the missing letters 'il' in 'will' and 'no' in 'not,' forming the contraction 'won't.' Contractions are commonly used in informal writing and speech to make language more concise and natural. 'Willn't' and 'wouldn't' are contractions for 'will not' and 'would not,' respectively, but 'won't' is the correct contraction for 'will not.'
Question 4 of 5
Which word is used incorrectly in the sentence? It seem like the sun never shines on Saturday.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Seem.' The verb 'seems' is the correct form to agree with the subject 'It.' In this sentence, 'It' is the subject, and 'seems' is the appropriate verb choice to match in singular form. The statement is about a general observation that the sun does not shine on Saturdays, so 'seems' is used to convey this idea effectively.
Question 5 of 5
Be careful not to ........................................ the bottle while you carry it to the table.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Break.' The sentence is advising caution not to 'break' the bottle while carrying it to the table. 'Brak' (A), 'Brick' (C), and 'Brake' (D) are incorrect as they do not fit the context of the sentence. 'Brak' is a misspelling, 'Brick' is a different word, and 'Brake' refers to stopping or slowing down, which is not relevant in this context.
